British Fife and Forfar Yeomanry Regiment Cap Badge

The British Fife and Forfar Yeomanry Regiment Cap Badge is a military insignia historically worn by members of the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, a distinguished regiment of the British Army. The cap badge typically features a crowned thistle emblem above a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. Made from bi-metal, brass, or white metal depending on the period of issue, the badge reflects the regiment’s Scottish heritage and cavalry origins. The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry was formed in 1794 and saw various reorganizations, notably as an armored regiment during the 20th century. This cap badge was incorporated into different headdress formats, including the service dress cap and beret. The badge is valued by collectors for its historical associations with British cavalry units, particularly those with regional connections to Fife and Forfar in Scotland. Its design and construction are characteristic of regimental insignia produced for British auxiliary forces during the 19th and 20th centuries.
